States of Matter - Result Question 9
####9. $\quad 0.5$ moles of gas $A$ and $x$ moles of gas $B$ exert a pressure of 200 $Pa$ in a container of volume $10 m^{3}$ at $1000 K$. Given $R$ is the gas constant in $JK^{-1} mol^{-1}, x$ is
(2019 Main, 9 Jan I)
(a) $\frac{2 R}{4-R}$
(b) $\frac{4-R}{2 R}$
(c) $\frac{4+R}{2 R}$
(d) $\frac{2 R}{4+R}$
Show Answer
Solution:
- From the ideal gas equation,
$$ p V=\Sigma n R T $$
Given: $p=200 Pa, V=10 m^{3}, T=1000 K$
$$ n _A=0.5 \text { moles, } n _B=x \text { moles } $$
On substituting the given values in equation (i), we get
$$ \begin{aligned} 200 \times 10 & =\left(n _A+n _B\right) \times R \times 1000 \
